While I didn’t really like watching the film (clearly it’s intended to be… adversarial to the viewer), I gotta say, it’s shocking to me that it was banned from Vimeo, of all places. Tasteless it is, sexually stimulating it ain’t.

I’m so excited for this. I loved both the comic and the movie, and the trailer looks great.

I haven’t bothered with DC movies since Wonder Woman (2017). It was an OK movie, and then I stepped outside and forgot about it. So I can’t speak to how bad those movies are, haha. With Marvel, I do think the quality is good, it’s just that I’m not interested anymore. I have a hard time understanding how anyone is still excited after 15 continuous years of the same stuff.

Haha, thanks!

I’m just bored of superheroes in general, I think. I watched up to the first Avengers movie as they came out, and kind of lost interest after that. GotG was fun, and I liked the first Black Panther. Loved Thor: Ragnarok. There’s just probably a limit to how much someone can do with that set of concepts without getting repetitive.

Paprika is one of my favorites, I’ve seen it a few times. I’m a little surprised that you describe it as “grounded and straightforward”–the first time I saw it, I found it a bit hard to follow. On rewatches, it becomes easier to spot clues as to what’s going on earlier in the film, but even then, it has a lot of threads to keep track of.

I’m a little embarrassed that this is the only Satoshi Kon film I’ve seen. A lot of people I know are wild about Tokyo Godfathers, but I’ve never actually seen that one.

Many thanks! I’d be willing to mod as well. I’m not always online but I check in a few times a week, usually.

i would love to see revivals of old franchises go the way of the dodo. i am as nostalgic as any millennial but if i want to see indiana jones or ghostbusters or whatever, i’ll just watch the originals.

i don’t think the superhero franchises are going anywhere, unfortunately. they are still reliable, even with some people losing interest over time. it seems like a good moneymaking bet for disney at least. and all the studios seem really risk-averse lately, more than they used to be.
